Convinced that the efficiency of the\nfire department would be greatly increased by tho inauguration of motor\ndriven apparatus, while the capital expenditure would bo only a litte more\nthan would bo necessary for new horse\ndriven equipment and a team which\nIs required and that a large saving In\nmalntenahce Charges would be effected, the fire, water and light committee last night recommended that the\ncity council confirm tho conditional\norder for an. f 8,600 American La\nFrance auto fire truck which was\ngiven by last year's city council. Tin\nreport was adopted.\nLast year the finance and fire, water\nand light committees, nfter going\nthoroughly Into correspondence with\nvarious auto fire truck manufacturers, recommended thc purchuse of tho\nLa France truck.\nThts committee of tho present coun\nell was Influenced In reaching Its de>\nclslon that the order for the truck\nshould bo confirmed by the fact that\nthe\" auto trpek was guaranteed\nmako grades which a horse rig could\nnot climb, by the faster time that\ncould be made in reaching fires, with\nthe result that better protection could\nbe given to .life and property! by the\n\u25a0 reduced cost of maintenance that\nwould follow the Inauguration of the\nmotor apparatus and by tho fact that\nIf the auto truck wero not purchased\nIt. would be necessary for the city to\nbuy a new team at a cost of from\n$1,000 to *1,200 and a new! horse, rig,\nwhich would, cost between $5,000 and\n10,000.\nSave on Maintenance\nWhile the expenditure on the team\nand rig would bo slightly less than on\nthe auto truck the committee figured\nthat the larger cxpendlturo would be\nwell made as It had been found that\nthe cost of feodlttg, shoeing and providing veterinary services for a team\npf horses has averaged In Nelson over\n$400 per annum, while figures from\nother cities indicated that thc cost of\nmaintaining an auto truck would be\nfrom $30 to $40 per annum.\nThere are two teums at the fire hall\nat present and thp auto truck will at\nfirst replace one of them. When It\nhas been proved efficient under all\nconditions both teams, will be disposed\nof so that there will be. It ls figured,\na reduction .in malritonunce charges of\nfrom $800 per annum to about $3(5 per\nannum. It has been the experience In\nNelson, It waB found, that the efficient life of a team for fire purposes\nwas between three and four years,\nwhile the auto truck is expected tp\nlast for 20 years.\nUsed by Bucket Brigade\nThe^resent ladder truck, which Is\nstated, to be worn out, was purchased\nsome 18 years ago before the city was\nIncorporated and ut a time when It\nwas albslgned for carrying ladders by\nmeans of which a bucket brigade could\nconch the roofs of blazing buildings.\nIt was drawn by band, the horse and\nhose equipment having been added\nlater.\n. The auto truck will curry hose, ladders and a double cylinder chemical\nwith extra charges, so that a practically continuous stream of chemical can\nbe applied to a fire. It Is guaranteed\nto go up a 20 per cent, grade If the\nroad bed is good at a rate of 20 miles\nper hour and under rough conditions\nat from eight to 10 miles per hour.\nThe agent Tor the machine1 guarantees\nthat It will make the grade on Ward\natreet Immediately above tho fire hall,\na street up which thc horses cannot\ndraw the present rig. Through its\nability to travel up such grades the\ncommittee believes the auto truck will\nvery greatly add to the efficiency of\nthe fire department.\nReports ;from puluth, Vancouver,\nSpokane and other cities indicated to\nthe committee that an auto truck\nwould prove efficient under tho \\vorst\nconditions prevailing in Nelson. ,\nThe truck will arrive bore next\nspring.\n, Those present were:' Mayor Mulone,\nAid.

Brewster,\nprovincial Liberal leader:\nMr. Chairman, Ladles and. Gentlemen: It is with very great pleasure\nthat I find, myself tonight face to face\nwith the first Nelson audience I have\neyer had the opportunity to addreife.\nTJje only little tingG of regret Is that\nI have arrived In your fair city at a\ntime when \"the beautiful\"- rather obscures the view. However, I hope that\nbefore very long I will have the privilege ot coming back when the sun is\nstronger and the grass greener and I\n\u25a0 shall have a better opportunity to view\nthe beauties for which your city is\nfumous.\nBut ut a meeting like this it Is not\nthe scenery you wish to hear from\nme about, so with your permission I\nwill pass directly to the purpose of\nour vjsit. Especially when we consider: that tb6 time for which people can\nstay to listen in one evening is limited, und against that consider tbe\nvery.many failings, as we see them,\nof the McBride administration, to attempt to adequately criticlze them in\nthe Ume available is a difficult task.\nFirst I wish to. assure every person\nwithin the sound of my voice that\nwe are riot here to talk personalities:\nbut we come here because we believe\nthere is an administration now in power at Victoria that is so dealing with\nlhe affairs of the province that they\nare drifting toward, the breakers, and\nwe want In a cool and calm way,\nwhile there Is not any strong party\nfeeling running, to address all classes\nand a\" shades of political opinion ln\na, ,cool, calm manner and Invite them\nto think along certain lines. As,\nknow,.jt was decided in Revelstoke in\nMay,; 1013, that a leader should be\n\u2022 elected, by the Liberal-party in British\nColumbia. That very representative\nconvention of the Liberals of this\nprovince thought,it was time a man\nwas singled out for that, very responsible and honorable position. As you,\nMr. Chairman, have* already told the\npeople, that responsibility fell upon\nmyself and I huvc thanked the people\nin. the convention and tried to thank\nthe people in the province, for that\n\u25a0 high honor. I have also felt the responsibility that honor entails. But\nthe unanimous vote which placed me\nin that position determined me in one\nthing, that though I realized what an\neffort and task It would be to dam\nback the devastating forces, which I\nbelieve are parrying us to financial\nruin and possibly political ruin.In British Columbia and to dig new channels\nthrough which the social and political\nlife of this energetic people shall run,\nyet I determined not ^to shirk the responsibility so placed upon inc. Sa 'I\nam here \u25a0 tonight, not to create party\nfeeling, not.to shy naBty things of my\nfellow man, hut simply to hold up to\nyour view public Issues and\" leave\nthem to you to think over, and byllo-\ning that wo believe we. will create u\nsentiment which will at least check\nwhat we consider the \"mad career of\nthe present administration.\nNor I would\" not have you think we\nhold the uncharitable view that some\nstrong partisans do, that there Is nothing good in the Conservative party,\n-that all the good men are in the Lib-\n; eral party. I do not' hold that view;\nthe vast majority of the men in the\nConservative party are honest men, I\nbelieve, and they have just as u'\u00b0od a\nright to their opinion as I to mine.\nBut there is a movement in the province, you can feel It in Nelson, we\nhave met it as .wo have been going\nnboitt the province, which is not to be\ncnlled a political movement so much\nns a patriotic movement, and we find\nmany Instances of life-long Conservatives who are considering tbe trend of\nevents and who have decided that It\nis time for a change and are just as\ncritical of the present administration\nas the Liberals, Socialists or any.oth-'j\nera, and I have every reason to believe from conversation with these\nmen that when we. next approach the\n. polls hi a general election we shall\nhave'^ysir support. It Is witha>vlew\nof meeting the people at;largo, learn-\n, ing their viewpoint at first hand and\nj$getting acquainted with them that we\n:are,^naklng this trip, because ir .these\n-.people are'becoming tired of what, we\n.consider the maladministration.at .the\ncity Of Victoria naturally they, must\n\"be looking, about tor some way of\nescape. We Avaiit them to know that\nwe have organized In this province a\nparty which will be composed of men,\nso far as the candidates and leaders\nof that party .are concerned, that will\nlie a guarantee that when you are\n;'sick of the present administration you\n:can turn to that party safely and find\n' 'relief.\nAccompanying me on this trip we\n\/have our very honored president, Mr.\nM. A. Macdonald (applause), elected,\n' aa you know, unanimously to the position of president of the Liberal association of British Columbia, to whom,\n. as well as to other speakers who may\ncome .through tiie province in the Interests of Liberalism, you must look\nfor instruction and enlightenment on\nthe public affairs of the country as\nwell aB to me, because he can dress\nthe story in a garb very much prettier\nthan my rough tongue can accomplish.\nBut I want to hurry along and draw\na few obvious conclusions and ask\n-;,yoji to consider tbein and then you will\n'hear from Mr. Macdonald, whose\n| words will command your most cnre-\n\u25a0fuj and attentive hearing. ,\nSpeaks of Land Question.\n- ,( want then to stai't'nt the beginning\narid In doing so I must touch first the\nland question; for after all can we\nha-ve any permanent success, can we\n. eVpr build up a permanently prosperous provlnco until we bring Into productivity those areas which are capable of producing foodstuffs in this\nprovince? Wo have many natural resources of great wealth in British Columbia\u2014mines, fisheries, forests, coal\n\u25a0with which we can make coke for the\nsmelters of this and other countries;\nwe are thankful that we have these\ngreat riches and resources of natural\nwealth, but I ask you of what avail is\nit.Jf we dig In the mine\/ toil on the\nsea and work in our forests, and then\ntake all or nearly all we produce and\nexport it out ot the.province in order\n|oii bring Ih sufficient foodstuffs ou\nT \u25a0'\u25a0 *\t\nwhich our people may live, and Incidentally enrich the railways carrying\nit to us. We have-the land which, if\nproperly settled and tilled, would produce all we need and a .surplus for\nexport So I want to look at thejnnd\nsituation, and I want you especially\nwho have followed the present administration, .probably supported thetri.\nperhaps think they have done a great\ndeal for the province, to consider with\nme the actual record of that government in the last 10 or 11 years. And\nin looking over that record we must\nconsider first that on which must.be\nbuilt the foundation of all our prosperity, the Industry of agriculture, and\n\u2022see how it has been used.\n. Now. the present administration\ncame into power In 1903~It came into\npower afc a time when there was,v6>y\nlittle alienation of land. We had very\ngreat forest wealth, with coal areas\n^which I believe are unsurpassed. In\nany, like territory in the world; and\nthey came In at a time when they\nsaid the treasury was empty. It Is\nfunny how history repeats Itself, the\ntreasury is now empty again. But\nthey came Into power with all these\nvast natural resources unalienated,\nand as you know they raised the taxation, said we are in a bad condition\nfinancially, we have no money and\nwe must raise money. So they undertook to raise it by disposing of the\nnatural resources of the province. Now\nI am not speaking of timber tonight\nbecause 1 want to deal with first things\nfirst, so I am confining myself to the,\nalienation of the land. In 1007 a\nchange was made in the land law. Up\nto this time there had been, and still\nis, in the Land act of this province,\na clause which says that one person\nmny obtain by purchase from tbe government one square mile, or B40 acres,\nol' land and no more. At thnt time,\ntoo, It was necessary for the persons\nwho would take un that land to stake\nIt themselves. And'that provision was\nnot pnt in there just for fun, It had\na very Important meaning; it was a\nmatter that the mature thought of the\nparliament of tho province arter looking at the history of the world hud\ndecided that to take any great area\nof land and lock it up, make it nn\narea removed from occupation and pro.\nductlon, would be a very great sin;\nthey wanted to prevent the possibility\nor that happening, so they would allow one person to take up *J40 acres\nonly, and no more. About this time a\ngreat transcontinental railway came\nthrough our province, opening up some\nof our fertile valleys in the north and\nmaking possible transportation into\nand frpm those sections which heretofore had been solitudes. Immediately\nthat class of men which wishes to\nreap where It has not sown saw an\nopportunity to acquire great wealth.\nBut thl3 clause was In the way; these\nmen wanted to purchase the land from\nthe. government, hut they bad no Intention of making t]ie long journey\nInto the Bulkley vnllev. or the Neeh-\nako, they preferred riding In parlor\ncars. So in I DO7 there was. a. very\nshort clause introduced Into the Land\nnet; I think just one line; some of\nyou who play bridge would perhaps\ncall It lhe joker; this line said that\nunder this act agents could stake the\nland. That began to make it easier,\na great deal easier, for these men;\nagents could he hired to go out into\nthese wild places, benr the heat of\nthe.day and the cold of the night, and\nenrry tho supplies necessary to enable\nthom to stnkft land throughout the\nmost accessible portions along that\nline of railway. It was easy to hire\nthese agents, but still, what use was\nli-10 acres only: that was not very\nmuch? It waB not. but the ingenuity\nof the snmo parties soon overcame\nthat, and the next thing we knew these\nagents wore going out with long lists\nof names in their pockets, they had\ndevelnned n scheme which worked\nmagnificently from their standpoint;\nthe scheme was to go about, ami secure powers of attorney to tills effect:\nIt gave to the holder the right to stake\nthf. (140 acres that those who gave\nthe nowei- of attorney hnd the right\nto BtBke. make the regular applications in their, name, and applv to the\ngovernment for it. So hundreds of\npeonle. were importuned by those\nwishing to get these powers of attorney* and we had the men who were!\ndigging sewers In Victoria or Vancouver, or Taeoma, Spokane, Portland,\nSeattle; we found their names beginning to appear on stakes in the north\ncountry. The woman stenographer,1\nbookkeeper, those who had no Intention whatever of going out ot the\ncities, allowed their names to bo taken\nand used by these people. Why, even\nsome of those individuals who stand\nvery close to the corner, usuully within hailing distance of the nearest barroom antl have apparently as their\nonly object In life the absorption or\nas much liquid refreshment as the\nother man will buy, found it brought\nthem a dollar and a drink if they put\ntheir name on a piece of paper to let\nanother man stuko 040 acres of land\nin their name. Yet the spirit of the\nlaw, which the ministers of the crown\nare sworn to carry out, was positively\nagainst that procedure; as to its legnl-\nIty I.will allow some ot the legal light\/\nto speak. I know that today th0 nume\nof a waitress.In a Seattle restaurant,\nnames of hundreds who never expected to leave the cities and work on the.\nland, aro on stakes all along the arteries of transportation that the government money was put behind to\nbuild, and wherever there Is any level,\nai'Ahlo land within 10 or 15 mUes of\nthe railways It has all been located in\nthis way, and the men who would\nunake the land productive must go\naway back behind where it would be\nan Impossibility to mnrket anything\nthey produced, or else poy tribute to\nthese speculators. That condition has\nheen created by the present administration in the fuce of the teaching, of\nall history that it Is a ruinous policy.\nQuotes Records ^\nWere it not that I have here some\ntables compiled' from the official records in the clly of Victoria I would\nhardly bellevo or ask you to believe\nthat such a tremendous alienation\ncould have taken place, but I have\nthese figures and I want to coll your\nattention briefly to them. This table\nI havo takes about three sheets of\nletter paper closely typewritten. It\ncontains a record from the official\ndocuments nt,Victoria,for three years\nih regard to land alienation. I do-not\nwant to weary you with-figures but*I\nwant to put before you these solid\nfacts so I ask you. to listen while 1\ntell-you .what'these three years hav:;\nmeant to the .people of British Columbia.^ In this' table I have the names of'\nagents, names of the locators, the dates\nand air about It; in those three years\nwe have 144 Syndicates or Individuals\nwho.have each taken up In the way I\nhave described' a tremendous area of.\nlahd, To'.umbe 144.names .the;e lias\nbeen alie^a^ed i,284J20 aires, !ri;\nthose 144 syndicates sve hnve not In-'\neluded any who have not jitakcj \u00abt\nleast 1(1 square miles, or. 1,400 acres\nOf land ,eachv. There have' been sta'ted-\nbesides a great number of. sm.ilter\nareas, six,, seven, eight, nine square\nmiles, but we have taken no notie? of\nihem in this list; as a matter of fact\nthey would account for at .past another 25 per cent. In those .144 syndicates, we find that thp average holding of each is.between ll'.QOO and 12,000.\nacres\u2014that is the ^average.'. Eighteen\nof them have, over. 25,000;we have been checking them up nnd It.does notrequire a\ngroat deal of reckoning to see, \\t you\ndeduct from that $22,783,225 the seven\nmillion odd dollars which have been'\npaid In on account thereof, Where the\npremier's thirteen million four hundred thousand odd dollars comes in. It\ngives you another idea, too, namely\nthat the bulk-of those choice lands\npassed into the hands of the favored\nfew'as secohd class land at $5 per\nacre. I do not believe, if the records\nare searched, and they are going to\nbe searched some time, because\nwhether these men who appear before <\nyou in the interests of the Liberal\nparty now ever go back to Victoria to\nform a government or not the time Is\ncoming when those who have done\nthat which Is not- right will have to\ngive an account, because someone else\nwill go into those places and look it\nup. -1 had the honor to make a spoech\nat a banquet in Vancouver, and\ntouched on this land question, and as\nwe have it much talked oE minister of\nlands I expected he would reply, but\nit seems that Mr. Bowser, among all\nhis other accomplishments, Is minister of lands, too, and he mnde the\nreply, and his reply was to the effect\nthat we were not taking into consideration,the wild land tax. He said tho\nselling of this land Is good business\nbecause we charge the holders the 4\nper cent, tax nnd that means a great\nbig return from the wild hi nd tax, and\ntills together with the returns from\ntimber and other natural resources* will\nsoon cause the time to come when\nwo will nbollsh direct taxation altogether. I would like to ask you, ladles\nand gentlemen, who own property in\nthis district it you notice any signs\nthat load you to think that your taxes\nare going, to be abolished; if you\nhave you aro In a different position\nfrom those at the coast. I will tell\nyou one of the reasons you hnve not\nnoticed It; it is because these people\nwho wero allowed to pick up this\nchoice land are also permitted to do\nother things find one of those things\nis to avoid thc wild land tax. Let mo\nprove it. They admit five million\nacres alienated. Tho minimum government price for'that land Is $5 per\nacre\u2014thero you have- a valuation of\n$25,000,000i : \u25a0\u2022tfour per cent, on that,\nyou should liu,v.e coming into the treasury $1,000,000 a year wild land tax.\nNow look at your public, accounts and\nfind whether tho government has collected a million a year, wild laud tax;\nyou will find not only that tlioy have\nnot, but that the addition of the coal\nlicenses, under which there Is nn nrca\nof three hundred odd thousand hold\nunder lease and license, with the addition of all that, Instead of a million\na year coming into the treasury there\nIs only $458,000 odd. So the wild land\ntax Is not 4 por cent, when it.affects,\nthose favored interests, it drops away\ndown nnd Is probably between IH and\n2; per cent. Thnt shows tho Insincerity of the government along that\nlines. Not only that, we find that even\nsupposing they did collect the wild\nland tax that would help unquestionably toward reducing our taxation,\nNews pf Sport\nROSSLAND SPIEL \"\n^COMMENCES TODAY\nThree Rinks from Nelson Will Compete\n\u2014Bontpiel Commences With\nAll-Comers Match\nThree rinks will leave this morning\nfor Rossland,* where they wilt represent the.Nelson Curling club at the\ndnhunT'bonsplel of the Brjtlsn Cnluhr-\nbla Curling association, which will\ncommence this afternoon with the Allcomers match. -\u2022\u25a0 .\nWord was received from Rossland\nyesterday that there were seven excellent sheets of Jce for the 'Spiel and\nwith curlers gathered from all parts\nof the district a most successful meet\nIs expected.\nThe rinks from Nelson will ho skipped by CD.

The\nscience of Increasing the field crops\nof the province Is of the highest importance to the whole community,\nrural and urban, and it calls for unusual abilities on the part of the experts engaged.\nThe mlnlsted suoted Mr. Ruskln as1\nsaying: \"It is physically impossible\nfor a well educated, intelligent or\nbrave man to make money the chief\nobject of his thoughts.\" Nevertheless\nthe country will he wise If it handsomely rewards men like Mr. C. C.\nJames, Mr. George Creelman and Mr.\nC. A. Zavltz. The college at Guelph\nannually turns out a lot of younger\nmen to scatter over the country and\nlead the agricultural community out\nto increased production and increased\nprosperity, and It is satisfactory to\nlearn that with the assistance of Mr.\nBurreii we are now keeping most of\nthem at home and even bringing\nsome early stragglers back from the\nUnited States. We need them all, not\nenly because of the high cost of living, but also because agriculture is,\nns Mr, Burreii terms it, \"the original\ncalling of the race,\" and the primary\nbasis of r. nation's wealth, stability\nfind comfort.\nReferring to the recent speech of\n| Hon. Martin Burreii at Guelph the\n| Toronto Daily NewB says:\nNo more earnest or able man has\nj ever presided over the federal depart-\nIment of agriculture than the present\nIminfster, Mr. Martin Burreii. At the\n\u25a0 Instance ,and with the uearty encour-\nf agement of the prime minister he is\n. successfully working out the difficult\nproblem of applying federal funds to\nthe'simulation of agriculture through\nprovincial government agencies. The\nprovincial departments are co-operating heartily, and with marked results\nin all parts of the Dominion.\nAs Indicated ln hjtf address at the\nopening of tlie -\\gronomy building at\n, Guelph, agricultural colleges have been\nenabled fro\"do wluu they could not\nhave done otherwise. The efficiency\nof staffs has been Increased. Money\nhas gone Into the creation of such\neducational plants, the Agronomy\nbuilding Itself, which is devoted to the\nstudy of soils and seeds\u2014in short to\nthe production of two blades of high\nI class grass where one blade of Inferior stuff grew before. In the maritime provinces the new federal grout\nhas made possible the enlargement of\nthe agricultural college at Truro and\n; the establishment of agricultural\n| BChOOlB.\nIn Alberta the grant has resulted in\nthe creation of three agricultural\nschools, each with a large attendance,\nIncluding scores of girls from farm\nhomes, who are heing trained in\ndomestic science. In nearly all the\nprovinces, and particularly in On-;\ntar lo, the work of the provincial gov-\n. ernments' district representatives has\nbeen extended to new territory and\nplaced on a stronger basis. From\ncoast to coast the gospel of pure sepf\nIs being preached with the helpful Co\noperation of the Seed Growers.' association, energetic efforts are being\nmade to improve strains of live stock,\nand the quality of dairy, poultry and\nfruit production is being raised.\nBesides being an experienced agriculturist whq has farmed in both On-\n| tarlo and BrltlBh Columbia, Mr. Burreii Ib at the same time a man of\nIdeals and literary culture. In moat\nof his public utterances he strikes a\n\u25a0 high note and gives expression to\nbroad views. In Guelph he complimented Professor Zayitz for his patriotism In refusing repeated offers of\nIMMIGRATION.\nThe Austrian government has de-\nelded to make suitable provision\nagainst the coming to America o\u00a3 Immigration whose physical or mental\ncondition renders them liable to deportation. Whatever one may think of\nthe Austrian campaign against emigration to Canada which gave rise to\nsevere attacks upon this country, no\nobjection will likely be taken to this\nlater activity.\nThere is, in fact, much to commend\nin it, for the good of Canada as well\nas for the good of Austria and In justice to her people. As the Chicago\nDally Tribune points out, an appalling\nnumber of aliens fill the asylums of\nAmerica. Deportations from this\ncountry, also, are constantly increasing\nln size. There appears to be a lot of\nwaste In the present system by which\nman are transported from Europe to\nAmerica, and then sent hack again.\nSurely some plan of co-operation could\nbe devised by which these unnecessary\ndeportations might be eliminated.\nWhy ls It that so many men come to\nAmerica who have no possible chance\nto enter the country? Why is It that\nso many enter the country only to be\ndeported in a short time? Is it fair\nto the people ot this country, who must\nfoot a good bit of the bill, or to the\npeople of a foreign country who must\npay the rest ot it?\nWe can gain nothing1, and we may\nlose much, by presenting, no matter\nhow Innocently it is done, a false attraction to the people of other lands,\nCare should be taken that this country is not represented so as to suggest\nto the idler and the vagrant a paradise of rest. Surely a country with\nCanada's heroic climate Is anything\nbut that.\n\"SOME HA'E MEAT,\nAND GANNA EAT\"\nSo Bobby Burns tersely describee the\nrich, but still poor, dyspeptics.

McGrath,\nof the Canadian branch of the joint\ninternational commission, was asked\ntoday regarding the report from\nWashington that a project for the\nJoint construction by the governments\nof the United States and Canada of a\ndeep waterway for ocean going steamers from Montreal to Duluth, Minn.,\nhad been inaugurated at a conference\nwith William J. Bryan, United Stdtes\nsecretary of state, and the members\nof the American branch of the joint\ncommission.\n\"The matter has been under consideration for some time,\" replied Mr.\nMcGrath. \"I have thought of the\nmatter for some time myself. I believe that it has been broached1 by a\nnumber of Influential\"' gentlemen in\nwestern Ontario, calling themselves\nthe Great Waterways union, nnd Including Mayor Graham, of London;\nD. B, Detweller, London; George Pat-\ntlson, M. P., South Waterloo; Mayor\nP. S. Scott, Gait, and, I believe, these\ngentlemen have been ln communion\ntlon with Senator .Townsend, of Michigan, who is also deeply 'interested in\nthe project.\n\"This .Is, no doubt, responsible for\nthe decision to take the matter up with\nthe Dominion government The fact\nthat Mr. Bryan has lent his support\nto tho scheme, shows that the project\nis likely to take definite shape.\n\"As to the feasibility of the scheme,\nI am not prepnred to say, although 1\nhave thought of the whole project for\nsome considerable time. The matter\nis, of course, one over which the joint\nInternational commission has no con\ntrol. It ls a question for the govern\nment of Canada to decide. I have no\ndoubt that it will be brought before\nthe government in due course of time\nand given the. consideration which its\nImportance demands.\"\nCHINA IMPORTING MORE\nFLOUR FROM CANADA\n(By Daily News Leased Wire)\nOTTAWA, Jan. 26.-\u2014.Advices have\nbeen received by the department of\ntrade and commerce that the United\nStates consul-general at Hongkong,\nChina, has reported as follows, regarding tho Increased importation of Canadian flour Into China:\n\"Increased prices nnd decreased\ngluten content of flour from tho United States and lower quotations for\nflour from Australia and Canada are\nfactors that combined to cause a considerable fnll in Hongkong's Imports\nof flour from the United States, as\ncompared with what the imports of\nflour should have been during the\nclosing months of 1913.\n\"During November flour from Canada was coming Into Hongkong In Increasing amounts nnd a considerable\nmovement of flour from Australia had\nalso commenced.\n\"Flour from Australia hns had a\nsmall part in this market for a number of years, and usually comes Into\nHongkong and China only In times of\nunusual great demand, such as in famine years or when prices in the United States are unusually high. The\nhigh course of prices of United States\nflour at present prevents uny considerable purchases from the United\nStates, aside from contracts already\nmade. Comparatively low prices In\nCanada have favored trade from that\nDominion at the expense of American\nflour.\"\nHow to Make\nBetter Cough Syrup than\nYou Can Buy\nA Family Supply, Savins $i\nand Fully Guaranteed.\nSixteen ounces of cough syrup \u2014 ai\nmuch as you could buy for $2.60\u2014can\neaaUy be made at home.

The church was waking up\nhut with that truglc conclusion which\nhas so often bleared her perspective ot\nservice to humanity, she whs more\nconcerned for the heathen in far off\nlands than for those In the floating\nhells at her doors. However in 1814\nthere arose a movement among the\nmen themselves, led by one Captain\nWilkins and his clever wife who together devised the symbol, now 100\nyears old, Which stands for the uplift\nand well-being of the seamen today\nover all the seven seas. It was a blue\nflag six feet by nine, bearing the star\nand dove with olive branch, and inscribed with the word \"Bethel.\" It Is\nnow one of thc world-signs of applied\nChristianity, for It floats over 120 stations around the globe, embnclng the\nAtlantic and Pacific coast; 0r Canada\nand the great Inland lakes. Thc famous war-sloop Speedy became the\nfirst rendezvous of the movement.\nIn 1818 the British and Foreign\nSailors' society was established.

But we have had nolo some figures, and we have\nnuged to dig into Ihem somewhat\n! I want to give you some of thc\nults. We got the returns of the\nil land tax for 1010 and 1912, 1011\nauld not get In the time \u00abt*my dls-\nal.

In .1912 thero was col-\nlible $805,373, collected $428.27.4. Or\njtiWo years there was allowed to rein In the pockets of the speeulu-\nln the bunk accounts of the big\ndlcates (and most of them arc\nns from the province) that great\njount of money, while we have just\nn over lo Great Britain to borrow\n100,000 on our revenue for the corn-\nyear.\nthink If we take those two yeurs\ni fair basis, that In the lust six\nrs since land alienation has been\n[piomincnt you would find thut well\nx a million dollars Is due the trcas-\ntoday in wild land taxes not col-\ni'.d. I will ask you also to confer the difference in the treatment\nIs accorded those favored few,\nthe treatment accorded the man\n|i actually Is becoming a bona fide\nler In the province and Is tilling\nsoil. Let us take a cubo\u20141 know\nmany where this has actually handed\u2014where two men take up tiding sections, one for speculative\n[poses, the other, who ban been ou\nsoil all hla life, coming from one\nhe other 'provinces und wishing to\nIvuto the soil here and make u\nlie for himself und his fumily where\ny raay becomo good und independ-\nj | elrIisens'*of the province. The\nculalor leaves his section us it Is,\nhas* nut the slightest Intention of\ntcring his hands cleaning It up; the\npr man starts In, slushes, burns,\n*s up stumps, grubs up roots,\n(es a garden spot and builds a\nse to shelter his wife und children\nbuildings for tbe cattle. And with,\nng comes the assessor; he passes\nfirst section and says, '\/Nothing\np.. \u00ab here, assessment the same as\nII' I year.\" But hc comes tb the next\n\u25a0e and sees the smiling garden beting to become productive, the\njdings erected, and he says, \"Hero\ntransformation, thero is Industry\nthrift Indicated here,\" then It\nId seem as though the spirit of tho\nernment reached down through tbe\nlal and said, \"Industry and thrift\nmean lndependance a. little later\nthis .man will make this .place so\npan actually get his.living off it,\nthat will mean that the machine\nnot work so smoothly if we get\nmany of those fellows (applause\nlaughter), so In order to show\nwe do not like thai in British\nlimbia we will fine him,\" , so he\npTJPATED, BILIOUS, HEADACHY,\nraises the assessment, and when the\nn.'xt lux notice Is received there Is1\nanother man In tho province who begins to realize that while the -speculator must have his chance, as Mr.\nBowser said, the bona fide settler\nfinds he Is taxed |or every improve- j\nment he makes.\nNow we have ibeen talking about the\nfltuui-cJul end of thia land ibuslnes-;\nwhich the administration aay was\nnecessary because they had lo have\nthe money for public works. I want\nto take you alldng that line a little, It\nIs a sober nueytCon that needs careful\nconsideration, we are trying to got\nyou to 'take a view-point which possibly you have not taken hitherto. Sir\nRichard McBride says there arc |12,-\n000,000 due the province on account ot\nland sales. I see he wa'' talking yes-\ntui'dav In the house taking myseir\nsomewhat to task, and he reiterates\nJva.t there are- $0,000,000 uue on one\ni kind of laud and *3.ui-o.ooi) un another.\nI (that Is'in the Vxeess of Uie. figure-\nwe have been quoting. Mr, Bowser,\nis a matter of fact, says $13,400,000)\nand Unit It Is bearing; Interest ut ii\nper cent. Well, what noes tlut mean?\nTlu. interest on $12,000,000 at d pci\ncent would bo $720,000. 'ihat wouk.\nbe for 1012. Fof 1911, taking tbe figures as close as we can check them\nit would be $070,000; for 1010 $420,000;\n10ia would be fully -as great as talis;\nso you have the very nice little total\nlor those four years of $2,530,000 Interest. If you will add to that tht\nmillion dollars wild land tuxes whit-h\nI spoke about you will fmu, putt-n^\nIt at a conservative estimate, thai\nthere is over $3,000,000 . outstanding\nund oyeidue In interest and wild-land\ntax. alone. Sir Rlci;ard says wc have\n$12,000,000 due \u00b0n account of lani.\nsales* that makes $15,000,000 due the\ntreasury today from the speculator In\ntho province of British Columbia. Now\n1 ask you ladies and gentlemen, doeo\nnot it strike you as startling a\"d\namazing that for this period I .have\nquoted we have more than twice as\nmilch owing as wc have.received from\nland sales since 19057 Yet there is\nthe position and the province is going\nabrcaj- today to borrow, so as not U.\nInconvenience these -men who owe\nthe province unore than twice aa much\na.3 they have paid In on account b*\nland sales in this province, That li\nto say that \u25a0dtuiinjr th*3 period of years\n1905-1912 the government has alienated over six million acres of l,-,nd, the)\nhave received from that .land some $7,-\n000,000\u2014did you ever stop to think\nwhat that means lu the provincial\ntreasury in comparison with the expenditure under the McBride admin\nlstratWi for the last, two years; It\nwould only keep thia -province running for about five months; that is\nwhat yuti have got out of your land.\nHow Kiiik do you 'CtiCiik a. business yr-\u00bb*r\nTurn the resciile. out\u2014thB iheada-jli e, biliousness, constipation, the sick,\n\u25a0 stomach and foul gases\u2014turn th em out toillght with Cascarets.\n,Don't put in another day of dlstr ess, Let Cascarets sweeten and regu-\nyour stomach; remove tho sour, u ndlgested ona fermenting food und\nmisery-making gas; 'take the exec ss bile from your liver and carry off\ndecomposed waste matter and cu n&tlpotlon poison from the bowels,\ni you will feel great,\n\\ Caecaret ton'-ght will straighten you out by mornlng^r-a 10-eent box\ni any drug store will keep your h cad clear, stomach sweet, liver and\nels regular and. make you feel bul ly und cheerful for 'months.

There are\n,hose before me who -have been stud-\n\u2022>rts of history. I will ask them to\nJhlnk back to the days of old Rome,\n;o remember the time when Italy was\njoing through the sreat turmoil and\nrevolution that eventually brought it\nforth a practical democracy, and rc-\nmembe\" when the craze for investment and speculation struck that place\nand you know how the people left the\n'.'nnd and rushed towards the city, and\nhe suburbs were extended, and magnificent palaces erected, and the people\n-reemed Intoxicated with this speculative spirit and luxury' any extravagance\ngrow and increased; and the speculative vultures took advantage of that'\nIntoxication and made great fortunes;\nbut after a little you know the result,\nthe crash came People bad left the\nfar*-- and the vineyards, now you have\n*he vacant country, money seems to\nhave ceased to circulate In the cities,\nthey are not' turning over real estate\nind building fine palaces any Iongei\nbut are beginning to wonder wliere the\nnext meal Is coming from, and miser;\n\u25a0talks through the country.\nZola in a portraiture that can novei\nje equalled pointed to It and said;\n\u25a0But the g'\"ave point Is- that your Idea,\n.till remains to Joe created.

Now I want *\u25a0 call your attention t0 a letter ore,- tbe signature of\nthe best posted m.an in the -ovlhce\nio far a* the land situation is concerned, the man w'bo compiles the yeai\nbook of the province of British Columbia, who Is the archivist at the\npresent \u25a0\"\u2014- who Is constantly in the\nemploy of the government and who\nig up (I tclil yon a secret) a good\ndeal of lhe information which appe.aii't\nn the spteches of the. ministers of\ne jw-i Mr. R. 15. Gosnell, Unfortunately fcr Mr. Bowser, on the day he\nmade his speech Mr. Gosnell wrote a\nletter to the press over his own signature lu which this very subject was\ntouched. This Is what he said: \"1\nhave tuken great pains at various\nt.mes to ascertain from every possible\nsource of official and other Information approximately the aggregate area\nof agricultural land in British Columbia and I could never reaoh a total\nit flfteon million acres, which would\nbe about,one-sixtcenl-h of the whole.\"\nAnd yet Mr, Bowser says you have\n103,000,000 acres of land; well you\nhave 103,000,000 and more, but would\nvou like to try to farm it? \/Why you\nwould have to have un Alpenstock to\niry to climb them, let alone farm them.\n(Applause). And 'he knows It; Instead of tw-> per cent they have alienated the choicest land in thc province\nto tbe extent of 33 per cent, according\nto Mr. Gosnell, atid that is pretty\nnear correct. Well, as I told you, Mr.\nRoss als0 spoke, and Mr. Ross made a\nstatement which out-dld Mr. Bowser.\nMr. Ross said; \"Wihy Mr. Brewster\nis going about tihe province telling you\nwe have done nothing for agriculture;\nwhat nonsense;, why, within the last\nfour year*- we have planted on thc soil\nIn this province firty thousand people.\"\nCan you credit that? It would be de-\ni-'ghtful If you could; there is only one J\nfault with that statement, it Is not\ntrue. I will prove 'that It la not. I d-o\nnot want to come to this platform, nori\ndo I want any other person to come\nin the Interests of the Liberal party\nand make. statements, a\u00bb some political demagogues do, that leave with the\naudience a fulse 'Impression, if tonight\nI or Mr. Macdonald make any .statement here that you think is not correct I want you to challenge It and If\nyou win (.'how us that It ts wrong 1\nassure you we will as publicly retract\nIt as we have publicly made it. Fifty\n'thousand people on. the soil In this\nprovince ln the last four' years, said\nMr. Ross, (a voice \"Doukhobors\").\nWell, let us look at the statistics, [\ndo not wish to go into tlie full details, my time Is limited, but take the\ncensus figures, take the total Increase\nIn the population of this province In\nthe past ten years, and deduct ffom\nthat total the Increase In the four\n\u25a1cost cities, the increase in the cities\nof tihe interior, and such places as\nPrince Rupert that have sprung Inlo\nbeing within that time, and the hundreds of railway men, and you cannot\nfind 20,000, let alone 50,000 increase\nleft, in the. whole 10 years. That is\none way o* figuring It. We have another way. Unfortunately for same\n-ministers of the crown there are other\nministers of the crown. I want to\nta-ke you for a few minutes over the\nbudget speech of Hon. Price Ellison\nfor the season of 1913. I think I can\nprove to you from that if Mr. Ross put\n50,000 people on the land they must\nhave taken root and started to grow\nthemselves, for they ihaive not grown\nmuch else. I have an abstract of that\nbudget speech, hi which are given the\nvalues of home production and d-utl-\nabl- Imports of foodstuffs In British\nColumbia. Now If 50,000 people had\nbeen placed on the soil in the last\nfour years we should be beginning to\nsee some evidence of thelr industry,\nthis tremendous territory that has\n\u25a0heen alienated should 'be beginning to\n-roduce something'.\nGiv\u00abs Figures\nWo look at the figures then; in mn\u00bb,\nthat is the first ycojr, of course, we\nshould not expect mueh; nor in ioiij,\ngive them time. But -by 1911 they\nshould begin to produce somethinK towards the food supply, and we look\nfor tha* with a good deal of Interest\nbecause for food products alone this\nprovince sends out in hard cash every\nyear over $20,000,000, and we could\ngrow every bit of it In the province,\nhad the McBride administration adopted a. land policy when they first took\noffice. Take then 1911, live stock, you\nsay, they would doubtless an in for\nlive stock In many sections, In most\ncases they would put out a few sheep\nor cattle at least. What do wu find;\nIn 1911 thoy produced $3,\u00ab48,r>12 worth,\nIn 1D12 there was a slight increase,\nnearly $100,000. Then you would say\nthey probably went Ii for dairy stuck;\nin 1911 they produced $4,2K0,162 in\ndairy products, sontethln\u00bbr which evcrj\n'human bein-- in the province uses. This\nbeing the third year, -getting on towards the fourth, we look for a grea\nincrease In 1912 and we find that in\n1912 these &0.000 people produced the\nmagnificent amount of $2,-iti9,3o<.\nagainst $4,280,462 the year before. Sv\nevidently they do not like milking\ncows. But you say, perhaps, ' they\nwent In for meats. In 1911 ihey produced in the province $743,713; in lfllk\n(405,795 wuit.h of meat. Then we i-t-mu\nto the articles for which we send *>ui\nmoney out very largely Indeed, thai\ns trulls and vegetables; you will say\nWhen they are brooking the soil and\ngetting it under cultivation they woub,\nit leatt start to grow some vegetable^\n>nd by now some of thc fruit trees\n\u2022liould be Betting In shape to 'bear.\nThis '**. wliut jou Iind; in 1911 we produced in British Colum-ba $5,084,241\nwurth of',fruit and vegetables; In 1912t|\nwe produced'the great total of $2,871,-!\n806; so thev are not vegetarians are\nJhey? 1 will tell you the explanation;\njhe speculative craze took hold of the\npeople under this adiuinlit.ation, uni.\nihe, farms adjacent to the cities went\nout' of prodiuctlon, and the pcllcy o,\nthe government did not replace them\nby putting actual settlers on the soli\n,n otiher pants of -the province, they\nput Instead a-herd of people who instead of rulsln-g crops raised stakes\nall over British Columbia. Mr. Ross\ntnuy have seen 50,000 people working\nn British Columbia but they were nol\nIn his department; they were in Tom\nTaylor's department working on the\nroads or somewhere. 1 do not Hhini\nwith all their sophistry and at'gumen\nthoy can got away from the fact thu\nthat they have alienated from the\ncrown possessions about six million acresiof the best and moai accessible lands 'of the province, and foi\ndolnp So ha.'e taken In enough to run\nthe govern-men-t five months, and there\nIs owIiik to the government now tyvloi\nas much as they have ever collected,\nand In spite br it all, thoy are going\nbackward In production and we ure\nsending more money than over out uf\nthe province to bring In Ibut which\n\u2022ve have to eat.\nNow I notice Sir Rkharu McBride\nmis been speaking in the legislature,\nin reply to the speech from the throne,\nind hc has glven some Interesting\nstatements. 1 am rather surprised at\na man of his astuteness doing what he\nhas done. The premier said rio land\nIn the province had: been given away\nmd none had been alienated to colonization companies. We object to colonization companies; we do not want\ni'he okl land tenantry system. If Sir\nRichard has allowed 6,000,000 acres to\nSo out of the hands of (he government what did iho let It go f0r If It Is\nnot t0 he colonized or settled? Hc is\nonly arguing Into our own blinds, tbe\n\u25a0imlv other conclusion is that he gave\nmuch to those from wbcm he expected\nmuch. (Applause). Tho speculator roi\na chance, and In getting Chat chance\nhe hus left you with a depleted treasury and the goods are off your shelves.\nBut there ' - another phase to that\nus well, which 1 think needs looking\nInto. Mr. Bowser niade a speech (and\nI would advise the chief officer of tin\ncrown and his right hand man to se'\ntogether, before they speak much alon;\n:h.a line, because ns ll is they make\nstatement- which do not agree together). The premier said \"The revenue with which the trunk und lateral\nroa-is have been constructed was\nmain'--- derived from the proceeds of\n!an' sales. From whence would this\nmoney have been forthcoming had\nwc net this source of revenue?\" Then\nhe says, \"If lh\u00ab Liberals, were elected:\nlo office do they propose lo put an end\n*.,) such rales and derive illielr revenue\nfrom direct taxation?\" Before T speak\n>f direct taxation let me toll you what\nMr. Bowser said in h's speech at Vancouver, he said: \"The poor Grits ar<\n'logging a dead horse, ihe government\nls not selling land at all. a.- a matter\nof fact, only a little strip down near\n\u25a0th.. const way for sale.\" Yet Sir\nRichard says if wc came Into power\nand stopped selling land yon would\nnot get your public works. You set-\nthe sordldncss of -the appeal. \"Ijot us\ngo on selling the land because wc neei'\nthe money to keep the machine running,\" the idea being- to convey to the\nminds of the peonle who as I have\npointed out, under the present admln-\nistiatlon in this province ouiuct be independent, because I have not foun\"\nor heard tell of a place In British Columbia where a nian with $500 or $1,00C\nof ready capital can find a piece of\nland on which he can go and with that\namount of capital (which Is about bf\nmuch as the average Immigrant If\nlikely to have) mak\u00bb It sufficient!1\nnroductlvo to kee-> him; the result I?\nIhat he has to bow to tbe will of the\nmachine which says \"Join Uie Conservative association -\u2022\u2022 you will get no\nemployment on our public \u00bb works.\"\n(Applause). There is another thing\nwhich I think you should consider; we\ntre told that this veiling of land Is\nuecessa\"- In order to continue the public works; at the same time I have\nshown you.-and the premier admits H\nthat they have not collected the\nmoney. They hnve not even collected\nthe Interest, or the wild land tax.

If you know of any I wish you\nwould show It to me. The Liberal\npnrty have poit In their platform a\nlittle line that means much.

Now for\nseveral years Wc have been working\non a compensation act, and at the last\nprovincial eomvent'ion We adopted this\nplank in our platform. \"Compensation\nwithout litigation,\" and 1 want lo tell\nvou tonight, especially you who labor\nand are In danger of injury, that we\nhave completed a bill somewhat on\nthe lines of th0 Washington act which\nin our,opinion Is the host of any such\nlegislation in the Dominion of Canada,\nB.nd it docs away entirely with lltl-\ngatlotT in case of accident. In the\nyears before the new legislation was\nintroduced In Washington this was\nthe position; about four million dollars wus collected from employers ii\npremiums for insurance against ac'\ncldcnt; an-' of that amount less than\none million ever reached the men injured, lhe obhp- three million -went In\nexpenses und profit tu Insurance companies. Since this act came Into effect a commission has administered\nthose things, a non-political commis-\n\u00bbiin, and that i-ommistiion has made a\nreport, and I am in hopes that the\nchairman tonight will make an announcement that Mr, John Oliver will\nbo up here very soon to explain to\nyou the workings of thnt act, which\nhe has with him, and all tha details.\n(Applause). But just let me say this,\nthat since thai act took effect It has\ncost only between 8 aan B per cent\nto administer It an,] where before four\nInsured people received benefits, since\nthat time 100 have received ihem.

Both parties will meet in\ncaucus In tho morning.\nAt the opening of the house, Devlin\nWright asked If the Canadian government, had had any communication with\nthe government of tho United States\nregarding a joint waterway from Du-\nlulb lo tbe sea.\nlion. George E. Foster, In tbe absence\nof the prime minister, said that be was\nnot aware of any such correspondence,\nbut as he had been absent for some\ntime, it would bo well to put thc question again when the premier was In the\nhouse. '\nF. B. Carvel I (Carleton) read from\nlhe Ottawa Free Press of Jan. 10 an\ninterview with Capt. R. F. Cliff regarding tbo wreck of lhe Cobequid, In\nwhich tho order for navigation on tbe\nBay of Fundy at this time of tbe year\nwas strongly denounced and characterized as little short of murder. Mr.\nCarvell characterized this as a libellous\nstatement, and asked tbe minister of\nmarine if Capt, Cliff was an employe\nof his department and whether be had\nbeen reprimanded for such a statement.\nHon. J. D. flaxen, minister of marine and fisheries, replied that Capt.\nCliff was not an official of the marine\ndepartment, but a retired, sea captain,\nliving in Montreal, who bad been called in from lime to time by the Dominion wreck commission to give advice. The minister agreed that thc\nstatements of Capt. Cliff wore a slander\non the Buy of Fundy and expressed tbe\nopinion that the dangers thero were\nnot g.reuter than in many other navigable waters of Ibe world.\nThe minister added that the report\nof the Inquiry into the wrock of tbe\nCobequid would be ready In a couple\nof days and without forestalling that\nreport in any way, be believed It would\nbo found that thc wreck was not due\nto any inherent dangers of the Bay of\nFundy, but to other causes.\nHon. George P. Graham Was Informed\nby tbe minister of railways tiiat lite\nreport on tho investigation lnto\/The\nconstruction of the National Transcontinental railway, would be down\nnext week.\nSenator Bostock\nOTTAWA, Jan. 2U.--In thc senate\nilia debate on the address was con\ntinued by Senator Bostock.\nThe government was . withholding\nthe Naval bill this session, but It\nshould pay some attention to the Pacific question. In dealing with defence,\nnot only should the feeling of the people in England be considered, but if\nthe empire was to be held together, the\nfeeling of the people In Australia, New\nZealand and South Africa should bo\nconsidered. ' The government -has\nbeen unwise'to abandon the training\nof Canadians as men-of-war men.\nSenator Bostock attributed the. cost\nof llvlng>\u00bbcnace to high protection\nand thc fact that there had been too\nmuch speculation and too little development of production along proper\nlines.\nSenator Bolduc .followed. He said\nthe prime minister had donc exactly\nwhat he had promised the electors he\nwould do. Ho had consulted the admiralty and brought down an emergency measure and only last week Sir\nGeorge Ross admitted to the senate\nthat there was still un emergency.\nCanada should join In thc defence of\nher commerce, and the people at the\nnext general eiodtion would face tbo\nopposition majority in the senate to\npermit of this being done.\nSenator Davis, of Prince Albert, said\nthere should be a reduction in the\ncost' of necessities. Self-binders for\nwhich farmers aro charged $100 cost\nnot more thun from $38 to $40 to\nmanufacture. Cocksllutt plows, for\nwhich the farmers are charged $108 to\n$1H0, cost not more than $30 to pro.\nduce, People were charged $120 for\ntypewriters and the same machines\nbud been sold in large quantities to the\nUnited States government recently for\n$14 each and the firm made a dollar\nprofit on each machine. Sewing machines, for which farmers were charged $00 to $70, cost not more than $12\neach to produce. Thero should be a\ncommission to actually ascertain and\nreport on these things.\nNEW GRAND HOTEL\nOPENED TO PUBLIC\nWith un orchestra in attendance\nrendering an appropriate und pleasing\nprogram of music and a large attendance of Visitors, the new Grand hotel\nifa\nSTARLAND THEATRE\nTONIGHT TONIGHT\nTHE GREAT HISTORICAL FEATURE\nIN FOUR PARTS^\nThe Battles of Napoleon\nThis production, as a war picture, is of great, educational value,\nrepresenting most realistically the tremendous episodes in European\nhistory.\nhiatory,\nCOMING THURSDAY\nTHE GREAT ANIMAL FEATURE\nThe Girl and the Tiger\nCOMING FRIDAY\nJohn Lawson\nTHE GREAT ENGLISH ACTOR, IN\n\"HUMANltY?'\nTHE LATEST EUROPEAN SENSATION IN THREE PARTS\nNO ADVANCE IN PRICES \" ' NO ADVANCE IN PRICES\non Vernon street, u-.der the mnnal\nment of John Blomberg and ChasT\nMaglio, was opened yesterday.
